In an attempt to shed light on the role of the polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine in cell cycle progression, polyamine biosynthesis has been analyzed during the cell cycle of Chinese hamster ovary cells, and cell cycle kinetics have been investigated in cells treated with polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors. Cells were synchronized with the mitotic detachment technique, and at various

Cities divided by violent conflict, such as Mostar, Beirut and Nicosia, have proved remarkably resistant to peacebuilding efforts aimed at reconstruction, reintegration and reconciliation. Such cities tend to freeze the conflict, as it remains divided regardless of a conflict settlement. Contested cities therefore become symbols of the continuities rather than discontinuities between war and peace

A biographical-narrative reading of the first chapters of Matthew clarifies the powerful rhetoric by which the author shows the reader the untrue present leadership of Jerusalem and introduces the ideal king, Jesus Messiah. In this way the author has begun

A model for foot skin temperature prediction was evaluated on the basis of 2 experiments on subjects at various environmental temperatures (light seated manual work at -10.7 °C (Study 1), and a short walking period in combination with standing and sitting at +2.8 °C, -11.8 °C and -24.6 °C (Study 2), with boots of 3 insulation levels. Insulation of the footwear was measured on a thermal foot model.
